A Psychological Thriller in Donna Tartt's the Goldfinch Abu Fanani A Psychological Thriller in Donna Tartt’s the Goldfinch Abu Fanani (A Lecturer In Faculty of Adab and Humanities UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya) Abstract In this article, the researcher analyzes a psychological thriller in the form of anxiety in Donna Tartt’s the Goldfinch . The researcher then uses psychological theory. The researcher analyzes the main character that undergoes a psychological worry; anxiety. At last, the researcher draws conclusion that the main character, Theodore Decker undergoes recurrent recollection(s), feeling humiliated, worry, fear, nightmares, and feelings of terror. Key Words : anxiety, feeling humiliated, worry, fear, nightmares, feelings of terror. Introduction Literature and society remain inseparable in that their existence influences each other; on one hand, literature affects society. On the other hand, society affects literature. Levin (Scott, 1962:126) states that literature and society are mutually connected. Both affect each other in that society gets the literature’s effect, on the other hand, literature gets the society’s effect. Similar to this statement, Olsen (1978:203-204) has the idea of the influence of literature to society as well as of society to literature. The researcher may well, as to the influence of literature to society, refer to a work by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle’s Tom’s Cabin or Life among the Lowly influences the society to be social emancipation, to abolish racial discrimination between black and white people (Hardjana, 1981:70-71). English philosophers and poets are said to have influenced such worriers as social reformation and economic laws, instead (Jost, 1974:53-54). As to the influence of society to literature, the researcher takes a look at the works by Graham Greene’s the Heart of the Matter , which, as Gardiner has stated, has been unfairly punished in many years as being realistic in a negative meaning (Gardiner, 1959:86), Charles dickens’ (Jost, 1974:77); Oliver Twist , as Edgar Johnson, Professor of English, says, is a protest against fierce society (Dickens, 1961), Our Mutual Friend presents a disturbing vision of Victorian society (Dickens, 1997), Thackeray’s (Jost, 1974:77), George Eliot’s (Jost, 1974:77); Daniel Deronde is an analysis of contemporary Victorian society (Eliot, 1970:07), Daniel Defoe’s, Richardson’s, Cervantes’, and Pushkin’s (Jost, 1974:27). Likewise, such works as Mole Flanders, Clarissa, Don Quixote, and Evgeny Onegin are the products of the society (Jost, 1974:27). Azab dan Sengsara, Siti Nurbaya, Pertemuan, Salah Asuhan, Katak Hendak Menjadi Lembu, Atheis, Belenggu, and Senja di Jakarta are influenced by society, too (Hardjana, 1981:71). Further, in line with the influence of society to literature, Little (1966:01) says that this can happen due to the fact that the people’s literature becomes the fundamental element of its culture which contains the information of the society’s value, their worriers and conflicts, briefly, their entire way of life. Andre Hardjana (1981) confirms Little’s statement by saying that in a Sociology of Literature, the fictional characters are similar to/representative of real characters in certain real society. He says that social worriers give ideas to the novel through the author’s reachable imagination. He then says that a great novel is reinterpretation of the social problems; history and social experience through the author’s imagination in the society in which he lives. Thus, a fictitious character is not really imaginative. It represents a reality. Williams (1977:51) says that not all fictions are imaginative. According to Victor Zhirmunski, literature in all its parts is basically a creation of society. Literary movement in general and literary facts in particular regarded as international phenomena, are to some extent based on comparably historical development in the social life of the particular peoples, and to some extent on the mutual cultural and literary interaction between them (Jost, 1974:27). Miner (1990:30) says that regarding the fictional work such as the Tale of Genji , the novel gives us features of true emperor that match with unreal heroes and heroines, and the unreal persona put on real clothes, have real worries and have faith in real things of that era, i.e., spirit possession. He also says that even though a literary work is a fictional one, it cannot be said that it is fictional because if it is, then, the readers won’t manage to understand it. Gardiner (1959) in his book Norms for the Novel talks of author who cannot get rid of the fact of life. He calls him a realistic author. He says that the realistic author is one whose data come from the true life about him and are formed into his story, into his work of art. In this case, he puts his own subjective ideas and opinions as well as a little intrusion and influence. As to the fictional character, he says that the author is to possess the truth about him and tells sufficiently about him. Whether or not this is sufficient is going to be ascertained by lots of things; by the author’s notion of what sort of character he is, by his surrounding in society, by his friends and comrades, by his works, and on and so forth. His confirmation of the influence of society to literature is concluded by alluding to the Naturalists that they comment nothing of the society unless in the most negative meaning. Wellek (1963:94) says that literature symbolizes life which becomes a social fact although the outside world as well as the subjective world of the individual has become targets of the literary imitation. In contrast to the above opinions that real society influences literature, Williams (1977) in his book Marxism and Literature says that literature indeed gets influenced from society. Yet, society is seen fundamentally general and not concrete of human life in that it is the general social practice, the class specialization as well as the class limitation that influence it. In a nutshell, the researcher insists that Madame de Stael’s words be worth mentioning here that literature that is made by the nation should refer to society’s way of thinking because society has a sort of brilliant ideas (Jost, 1974:70) whether or not the society is abstract. Thus, literature and society are bound together. Where there is a society, there is a literature and vice versa. It is because an author is a member of a certain society that gives ideas to his works. To this statement, Damono (2009:01) (2009:01) says that an author is inevitably a social member who is attached to a certain social group. Such a certain social group maintains education, religious practice, culture and all existing social institution. One of the existing social institutions is literature which uses language as its medium. Language then is a social creativity. Further, literature presents a picture of life which is a reality in society in that it involves relations among society, relation between society and personalities, relation among people, and among events in human’s feeling. As to Damono’s opinion, Hardjana (1981:71) agrees that an author lives in a society. He can’t avoid of its influence because there is an enforcement of social norms. Consequently, such enforced social norms inevitably give ideas to the author in his works. Further, He says that literary work doesn’t come from the social vacuum. It, further, is an author’s imagination which has been influenced by the society in which he lives. All experts mentioned above like, Little, Hardjana and Williams with their similar representation of real character in a work of art, Gardiner with his idea of the realistic author, Victor Zhirmunski with his opinion of literature to be creation of society, Earl Miner with his idea of fiction becoming reality due to the readers’ ability to comprehend, the characters having real worries as those in reality, and Renne Wellek with his idea of life-symbolizing literature, Damono (and also Hardjana) with the idea that an author belongs to a society confirm that society gives ideas to literary works. All of the aforesaid connection of literature and society above, Miner’s idea of the characters having real worriers arrests the researcher, one of which is found in the novels of Donna Tart, The Goldfinch . The main character undergoes psychological problems such as nightmares, recollection, etc. Further, Theodore Decker, the main character undergoes anxiety after some events he did in the past; stealing a painting, the goldfinch, and other odds and ends which become the problems of his future. Consequently, the researcher raises such a condition into a paper with the title of A Psychological Thriller in Donna Tartt’s the Goldfinch, whilst, such a psychological thriller refers to the posttraumatic stress disorder which is in the form of anxiety disorder. Methodology Because the researcher analyzes the main character psychologically, he researcher, therefore, delineates the use of psychology in literature below. The psychological approach used by I.A. Richards in Principle of Literary Criticism began to appear in the twentieth century. In this approach, he relates the literary study with psychology (1926). Presumably, the flourishing use of psychology in literary criticism began with Conrad Aiken’s Skepticism: Notes on Contemporary Poetry (Scott, 1962:70). However, the impact of psychology upon creative literature was strengthened by the additional influence of Adler’s concept of the inferiority complex, and Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious (Scott, 1962:70). Therefore, psychology enters the literary study through some ways; one of them is that literary work also contains psychological proposition (Wellek, 1962). In general, the application of psychological knowledge to art can generate three kinds of illustration and one of which is that psychology can be used to explain fictitious characters (Scott, 1962:71-72).

    THE THORNY ROSE: THE AVOIDANCE OF PASSION IN MODERN INDONESIAN LITERATURE1 Harry Aveling One of the important shortcomings of modern Indonesian literature is the failure of its authors, on the whole young, well-educated men of the upper and more modernized strata of society, to deal in a convincing manner with the topic of adult heterosexual passion. This problem includes, and partly arises from, an inadequacy in portraying realistic female char­ acters which verges, at times, on something which might be considered sadism. What is involved here is not merely an inability to come to terms with Western concepts of romantic love, as explicated, for example, by the late C. S. Lewis in his book The Allegory of Love. The failure to depict adult heterosexual passion on the part of modern Indonesian authors also stands in strange contrast to the frankness and gusto with which the writers of the various branches of traditional Indonesian and Malay litera­ ture dealt with this topic. Indeed it stands in almost as great a contrast with the practice of Peninsular Malay literature today. In Javanese literature, as Pigeaud notes in his history, The Literature of Java, "Poems and tales describing erotic situations are very much in evidence . descriptions of this kind are to be found in almost every important mythic, epic, historical and romantic Javanese text."^ In Sundanese literature, there is not only the open violence of Sang Kuriang's incestuous desires towards his mother (who conceived him through inter­ course with a dog), and a further wide range of openly sexual, indeed often heavily Oedipal stories, but also the crude direct­ ness of the trickster Si-Kabajan tales, which so embarrassed one commentator, Dr.

The literature on the previous two elections, in 1999 and 2004, tended to focus on issues of democratic principle, such as whether the elections would be free and fair and conducted without violence, the attitude of the military and whether the losers would 2009/01 accept the decision of the electorate. There were also questions about the capacity of election administrators to deal with the logistical problems of conducting elections in a huge and geographically dispersed country like Indonesia. These questions have now largely been answered in a positive way. Not only have there been two successful rounds of nation- wide elections, but there have also been successive regional executive The CDI Policy Paper elections for provincial governors and district heads since 2004.

  • Biography, History and the Indonesian Novel Reading Salah Asuhan
    keith foulcher Biography, history and the Indonesian novel Reading Salah Asuhan The novel Salah Asuhan (Wrong Upbringing), written by the Indonesian nationalist politician and journalist Abdoel Moeis, has long held an hon- oured place in the modern Indonesian literary canon.1 It was originally pub- lished in 1928 by Balai Poestaka, the Netherlands Indies government printing house, and by 1995 it had been reprinted twenty-three times. In summary form, it has been studied by generations of Indonesian schoolchildren, and in 1972 it was adapted by Asrul Sani as a successful feature film. Critics and historians of modern Indonesian literature have always regarded Salah Asuhan as a literary milestone. It is admired for the maturity of its author’s literary imagination, as well as the modernity of its language and style. In linguistic terms, it is seen as one of the pioneering literary expressions of the language which was designated as Bahasa Indonesia in the very year of the novel’s publication. It exercises an additional fascination for literary critics and historians because of the circumstances of its publication. The form in which it was originally written is now unknown, for the novel was only pub- lished after a lengthy delay and a series of revisions which the author made to the text after seeing his manuscript languish for more than a year under the scrutiny of Balai Poestaka’s editors. As a result, the original conception of Salah Asuhan remains a mystery. Indeed, it is one of the greatest puzzles in a literary history that is so full of documentary lacunae that its serious study remains a source of ongoing challenge and frustration.2 1 I wish to thank Karen Entwistle and Doris Jedamski for giving me access to some of the reference material used in this article.

  • An Analysis on the Translation of Indonesian Passive Voice in “Atheis”, a Translated Novel by R.J. Maguire Zazim Ristasari K
    An analysis on the translation of Indonesian passive voice in “atheis”, a translated novel by R.J. Maguire Zazim Ristasari K.2202546 SEBELAS MARET UNIVERSITY CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Research Background People need language as an instrument of communication to express what they want, need, and feel. Samsuri (1991, p. 4) states that language is a tool that is used by people to express their thoughts, feelings, their willing and their behaviors; a tool that is used to influence and to be influenced. As a means of communication, language has an important role in all aspects of human life, such as science, technology, politics, trade, and religion. It is proved that translation is very important since people cannot understand the message of the scientific literature whose languages are not their mother tongue or their first languages. Connecting with this, Hartoko in Widyamartaya states “Kebutuhan menerjemahkan buku bukanlah tanda keterbelakangan, justru sebaliknya tanda keterbukaan, tanda kegiatan hendak ikut serta dalam tukar-menukar informasi (2003: p. 9). That is why there must be an effort to develop translation activities. It can be the translation of foreign languages into Indonesian or from Indonesian into other languages especially English. There are many requirements that must be fulfilled by a translator in order to make the translation good and understandable. The translator has to have: (1) complete knowledge of the source language (SL), (2) complete knowledge of the target language (TL), (3) an intimate acquaintance with the subject matter, and (4) complete knowledge of translation theory (Nida: 1964, p. 145). The needs of translated books, especially English, become wider in order to support the development of science and technology in developing country such as Indonesia.

  • ASPECTS of INDONESIAN INTELLECTUAL LIFE in the 1930S
    PUDJANGGA BARU: ASPECTS OF INDONESIAN INTELLECTUAL LIFE IN THE 1930s Heather Sutherland Pudjangga Baru, the "New Writer," was a cultural periodical put out in the colonial capital of Batavia by a group of young Indonesian intellectuals from 1933 until the invasion of the Netherlands Indies by Japan in 1942.1 In Bahasa Indonesia, the term pudjangga means "literary man, man of letters; author, poet; linguist, philologist."2 34 The choice of this term for the title of the monthly was no doubt also influenced by an awareness of its historical connotations, for the word can be traced back through such Old Javanese forms as bhujanga to an original Sanskrit root associated with sacred and priestly learning. It implied nobility and integrity as well as literary ability; and it is therefore no accident that the writings appearing in it claimed high idealism and a sense of mission. The purpose proclaimed by Pudjangga Baru became more fervent as the years passed. In the beginning, it described itself simply as a literary, artistic, and cultural monthly. At the start of its third year it declared itself a "bearer of a new spirit in literature, art, culture, and general social affairs."^ At the beginning of its fifth year it claimed to be the "leader of the new dynamic spirit to create a new culture, the culture of Indonesian unity."1* In 1928, when the second All-Indonesia Youth Congress swore the famous oath to work for "one fatherland, one people, and one language" Pudjangga Baru pledged itself to work for the development of the national language and also to strive for a national culture, adding "one culture" to its 1.
